Class outing + NMS

Went for class outing today. Original plan was to go Sentosa, but the turnout was no good. Didn't know that my class only had 6 gals and 1 guy. Haha. Went to Vivocity eventually. My 2nd time in this week. Haha. Dined at Long John Silver, then went out to look at the harbour/sea, only to realise that a Sweden ship's coming to Sin to dock for a few days. It's supposed to be a replica of a ship in 18th century, which sank in dont-know-when. It was so majestic, like a traditional Chinese junk. We waved our hands and the Sweden flag like crazy, and the happiest thing was that one of the crew actually waved back to US! We even saw one of the crew members dressed up like those traditional captains. Funny that we just had Long John Silver and there in front of us, was Captain Cook. Haha. I left at 2.30pm, and headed to NMS.

The journey from HarbourFront to Dhoby Ghaut's only abt 15min. Luckily, if not I'd be super late. Went to see the Maria Theresia exhibit with Jie Ling. Nothing much, just nice paintings and artefacts. HomeMade was interesting, lots of Xin Yao songs that I knew, and I had the chance to sing along.

Lets not talk abt how little tasks I've been given as a prog facilitator. I was so lost before the item began. I just stood there, not knowing what to do. The staff saw me and decided that I'm transparent. Fine! I was told to be there by 4pm. When the performers started rehearsing at 3.30pm, I panicked. I thot I was late or sth. I couldn't find the IC. Neiher did I see the other volunteer who's supposed to be there. Finally, the IC popped out, but that was like past past 4pm and he told me that I have NOTHING to do till 5pm. I felt like asking him :' Hey handsome, if thats the case, why ask me to come here at 4pm then?' But I didn't, of cos, cos he wasn't handsome at all. Haha. Fortunately JL was with me all the while, if not I'd have been super duper worried.

I don't know why, but aunties just like to come and talk to me. One auntie approached me and asked me a lot of things. Then she started giving me a lecture on "how $$$ isn't impt" and "why porridge with soy sauce is good for me". Haha. Eventually, my task was to shoo pple from crowding around the escalator area. At least I had sth to do.

Dinner according to JL and one of the camera crew was horrible, so I skipped that and ate Polky instead. Project Bandaloop was fantastic but the front part was a little boring. Perhaps I still don't really know how to appreciate Arts. But I must say, the turnout for that was quite good. I almost had no space to stand. Haha.

Tmr's the countdown. I really doubt the no. of pple who will come to a museum for countdown. Its like so contradicting, but well, its an experience anyway.

PS Slippers really come in handy or leggy when you are rushing for MRT trains. My flip-flops were so noisy and loud that pple just stood on one side of the escalator and let me passed. Haha.
